More Mask Mania!

[HenryBHough]

More but different.

The canny Scots have been reading British headlines and taking actioin:

Scots shops selling out of gas masks amid nuclear warfare fears

A SURVIVALIST shop has sold out of gas masks as Scots gear up for the threat of nuclear warfare amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. An online Preppers store – a shop for people proactively …

These aren't Covid masks. They're response to headlines earlier today - now vanished - quoting Russian diplomats making it clear that any nation doing anything that could be justifiably considered a declaration of war against Russia to warrant a nuclear strike. Is it possible that the Scots are the only people taking it seriously?

Are they paranoid or just facing a very potential reality???

How does a gas mask save one from radiation?

How does a gas mask save one from radiation?

It prevents you from breathing radioactive particles. Have you never studied the effects to the surrounding area of a nuclear bomb going off? If you're close enough, a mask won't help, as you are bombarded by radiation. Further away, however, and you have to deal with radioactive dust in the air, and while exposure to some on the skin may not be too harmful, inhaling it would be much more so. Ergo, the masks.

Thus ends today's lesson in the realities of life in a nuclear age.

Probably the same way a Xiden mask saves one from Covid.

He's slow to think.
Anyway, yes if you're in a contaminated area a gas mask and protected wear will keep you safe.

You can brush fallout off or wash it off, but cannot get it out of your lungs. I didn't know the Scots were such nervous types.

I have a tank in my yard to get into when they start dropping nukes.

Thanks for the laughs but, inhaling nuclear dust and particles are yer least worries. Unless you are isolated underground or in a tank you are pretty much fucked even with a mask.

I wish I had a tank, anything M60A1 or better.

Mine is a sewage tank but it'll work as a concrete bunker.

Yes but the tank has a gas particulate system. Your tank just has gas.

If you're in the blast zone, no shit Sherlock!

I have lived in the nuclear age my entire life. Fortunately, my parents didn't obsess over it, so I was spared from developing a phobia about it.

Depends how far you are from ground zero. Don't you know any of this stuff?

Rubber masks melt.
Xidenmasks burn.
Sodden adult diapers don't.
Count on Xiden, liberals, to supply in quantity that you'll SO need.

Voting for Democrats = Voting for mask mandates, lockdowns, internment camps for the unvaccinated, sky high gas prices, record homelessness, and the grooming of your kids.

The most anti American thing an American can do is support Democrats.
